Modular Plastic Belt Conveyors
When you add up the real cost of running conveyor systems that are not point to point running in a straight line, including the total of buying, running and maintaining multiple drives, MBP or Modular Plastic Belt conveyors begin to make real sense. Otherwise known as mat top conveyors of table top conveyors due to their flat appearance, these new generation of conveyors offer you more options for weight capacity and product variance.
Around 75% of the cost of a belt conveyor can be consumed in the cost of the motor and drive components. If you need to take a curve with a standard conveyor, that means another drive. Are straight conveyors and transfers still economical?
Here are the benefits to you.......
- Multiple Bends With One Drive
- Product Orientation Always Maintained
- Can Handle Flat Or Uneven Bottomed Parts
- Flat To Incline & Decline Possible Without Additional Drives
- Positive Drive Mechanism Means Positive Traction At All Times - No Belt Slip On Oily Or Wet Applications
- Hardwearing Belts
- Precise Indexing Of Product
- High Temperature Part Transfer Possible
- No Belt Alignment Or Tracking Issues - Ever
- Continuous Accumulation Possible
- Cleated Belts Possible
- Belt Widths From 76mm To 1829mm
- Conveyor Lengths Up To 23M

(Special version with small rollers in the chain to give a zero back pressure arrangement)
Heavy loads, accumulation, drainage or air flow, and the need to transport around a curve are all reasons to use a modular plastic belt conveyor. MPB or mat top conveyors or table top conveyors are available to solve these and other application requirements.
MPB mat top conveyors of table top conveyors are capable of wide widths and very high loads. Their low friction plastic belt make them the perfect choice when accumulating large loads.
Curve mat top conveyors transport products around corners while maintaining product orientation. Conveyors can have multiple turn sections and incline and decline sections while using a single drive motor.
